Just as he was about to go home, a middle-aged man in his forties holding a "guide" signboard walked over.

The man trotted over, went behind Mo Xingxing, and shouted:

"Sir, sir, are you looking for a guide? I am the guide, and I am willing to go. ”

Mo Xing is a little strange, I have been looking for someone, and none of the people on the street are willing to go, I have no confidence, and you come and say that you are willing to go. Why should I go to Husha?

Mo Xingxing turned his head and stared at the visitor for a long time, and asked:

"How do you know I'm looking for a guide? Do you know where I'm going?"

Middle-aged man says:

"Sir, you have been inquiring about this street for a while. You're looking for a guide. We are not only three or two people who know about this business. I guess it's too late. ”

"You guys know all about the guides?"

"Don't tell sir, except for me, if you don't believe it, ask if anyone is willing to take this road? ”

"Then you're not afraid, not afraid of accidents?"

"I'm also scared of accidents. But as a parent and son, to survive, the pressure of life is so great, and the price of taking this road is also higher, so I have to take a risk in order to earn more money. ”

"What's your name, and when will you be able to leave?"

Mo Xing couldn't find anyone else to go, and he couldn't ask for this person who was willing to go. It doesn't matter who he is, the price is higher, just let him go.

This is called that under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man. Today, the incomparable correctness of this sentence has been verified once again.

"My name is Gu Feng, because of my boldness, everyone calls me Gu Daring. The boss just called me Gu Dad. He patted his chest and said, "I'm bold, you can ask everywhere casually, where I dare not go, if anyone dares to go, you can find me." ”

"Okay, okay. We'll set off tomorrow, right in front of the remote carriage shop. Are you riding a horse or a chariot?"

Mo asked happily.

"It depends on the gentleman's request. If the gentleman wants to ride in my car, I will catch it, and if the gentleman wants to ride a horse, I will ride a horse. The price is the same for horseback riding and charioting.

These two different requirements, and the rest of the guides charge differently. But I'm all the same price. Sir, in an industry like ours, we all pay 70% upfront, and when it is delivered to the destination, the boss pays another 30%.

During this time, the boss was required to pay in a lump sum when he walked this road. The current unit price is 80,000 yuan per trip, compared to 60,000 yuan before. But you know, it's not the same now.

But I'm in a hurry to use the money, boss, you'd better pay 70% first. Boss, what do you think ......?"

The guide is asking Mo for a deposit.

Mo Xingxing generously took out a check and handed it over: "You take the 60,000 yuan first, which is enough for 70%, and I will make up for the rest when it arrives at the destination." ”

The middle-aged man looked at the numbers on it, and immediately smiled, he took the check, looked at it carefully, nodded and said:

"The boss is generous, okay, what do you see tomorrow?"

"See you when? Anyway, the weather is better, so we'll leave early. Set off as soon as dawn is up. You are waiting for me at the door of the Wanma ration store or the remote carriage and horse shop. ”

Mo Xingxing had just finished negotiating and took a step back, he suddenly realized that this person should not be a liar, and immediately reflexively said:

"You can't be a liar, right? I'll tell you, if you dare to offer such a high price, and you dare to cheat me out of my money, ask yourself how many heads you have, do you hear that?"

The man had just carefully put the check into his pocket, and before he could get up and walk away, he raised his head and said after listening to Mo's happy words:

"Boss, look, am I like that? You just lend me 10,000 guts, and I don't dare. I am old and young, I don't want to die, my family wants to die. Don't worry, boss, I'll go first, see you tomorrow. ”

"See you tomorrow. ”

Mo happily returned to the Stone Town Inn. Have a good night's rest, and tomorrow there is a new mission waiting for him.

But he suddenly remembered one thing, didn't Nangong Xi say that someone would come to help him and Shui Zhongyue, now that Shui Zhongyue has been lost, what kind of character is this, why doesn't he appear yet, could it be that Nangong Xi said to comfort me, let me not be afraid of doing things.

Or this person was cowardly and didn't come, or this person had already had an accident on the road and couldn't come.

This South Team Leader, when he was leaving, didn't tell me the contact information between him and Dong Mengzhu. There is no way to get in touch with each other.

He was becoming more and more worried about whether he would be able to do this well.

Mo was happy to think of going into the desert area, so he specially prepared a lot of dry food and water. Because we all know that when it comes to walking in the desert, water is sometimes more important than food.

Although this is not the most difficult time to walk in the desert, water is more important than food whenever you cross the desert. To put it simply, a day or two without food will not starve to death, but without water means death.

Gu Daring was also very punctual, and he didn't drop Mo Xing's bag.

The two of them set off as soon as dawn.

Under the leadership of the guide Gu Daring, the journey was very smooth. Mo Xingxing also said in his heart that having a guide is different.

Where to pay attention to what, where there is danger, where there are people, where there is water, this ancient bold is familiar with the first hundred kilometers. He said that what he did, he would do it if he was not happy, which was really time-saving and easy.

The first 100 kilometers, this in the direction of Husha, there is also a road that everyone is used to, and people also walk according to the road that has been stepped on. At this time, I met a lot of people.

Some go to the desert Hudi, and some come back from Husha. The road was not lonely, and in the first dozens of kilometers, Gu Daring also met a few acquaintances.

The further I went, the fewer people I encountered, and even if I met some, none of them were known by Gu Bold. Later, it was completely up to the guide's experience and ability, and he said that he would go wherever he wanted.

There are no roads to speak of, either endless meadows or yellow sand as far as the eye can see.

Occasionally, there are animals and animal carcasses, and birds of prey will whistle overhead, some of them are hurrying like people, and some are pecking at dead animal corpses, and they will fly into the sky after seeing people frightened.

After walking about 200 miles, according to Gu Daring, it was not far from the Husha land they were going to.

After about twenty kilometers of walking, a mountain peak in front of me suddenly came into view.

After walking more than 200 kilometers, he was able to suddenly see a mountain, which made Mo happy and felt a burst of surprise. Finally, I saw a green barrier in the sky.

Gu Daring introduced to Mo Xingxing, this mountain peak Shajie Mountain.

Why is it called Shajie Mountain? Because this mountain divides the long yellow sand into two parts.

From the Shajie Mountain, they can go to the Husha where they are going, and they can also reach a small country today, the Jingjing Country, walk from the Shajie Mountain to the right, they can reach Loulan, a larger country on this side, and they can also reach another country, Wusun Country, after crossing the Shajie Mountain.

To these three small countries, the easiest is to reach Loulan Kingdom, the most difficult is to Wusun Kingdom, and the second is to Jingjue Country.

Of course, this is a comparison between these three countries, in fact, they are all very difficult.

At that time, Mo Xing was a little strange, didn't these three small countries have long ceased to exist?

Gu Daring told Mo that they had now crossed the border and arrived at a borderless territory.

It's a long way from the land of China.

But to get to the heart of these three small countries, it is far away, and it is useless not to walk a thousand or eight hundred kilometers through the desert.

In terms of time, it is not possible to go through more than two months. And be lucky not to encounter extreme weather.

All three small countries wanted to join the Chinese map, but they did not succeed. Now they all want to fight for the opportunity to join the Chinese map.

The Three Kingdoms family members were once some people who could speak Chinese in the surrounding area, and when this place became terra nullius, these people were divided into three groups of forces, all of whom wanted to annex each other.

As a result, no one can swallow anyone, and it is also a situation of mutual use and attack.

Among the three countries, the strongest is the Loulan Kingdom, the weakest is the Wusun Kingdom, and the middle is the Jingjue Kingdom. I heard rumors that the Jingjue Kingdom and the Wusun Kingdom jointly wanted to attack the Loulan Kingdom.

Now the place at their feet is called the foot of the Republic.

Because it is not particularly far from the land of China, it is more than 200 kilometers away, and because this place is the most convenient channel for the three countries to communicate with each other.

No one wants other countries to occupy it, and the tacit understanding formed by the three countries is not occupied, and the three countries share it, and it is under the sand boundary peak, so it is called the foot of the republican peak.

Mo was happy to find that the number of people here seemed to have increased through other places, and occasionally people could be seen passing by on horseback or camel.

Mo Xingxing was about to ask Gu Daring what was going on.

Gu boldly pointed to a man wearing a gauze hat on a camel riding from the front right, and said:

"This camel rider should often walk on the left, because when you get to us, you don't usually have to ride a camel, they tend to ride horses. But when you go to the country of refinement, you can't do without camels. ”

As they spoke, the man on the camel walked slowly from in front of them to the left.

When the camel passed by them, they realized that it was not one man, but two people on it. It was because there was a man sitting in front of him, who was fat, and he blocked the person behind him. The man sitting in the back had only one nostril left, and the rest of the area was tightly covered, and they had no way of knowing his gender or figure.

The two were talking about what kind of road these two people might be and which small country they were.

At this time, a fast horse suddenly drove from the direction where the camel had just come, and you could see from afar that it was a red horse, and the rider on the horse must be a master.

His feet kept knocking on the horse's belly, and he was holding the reins in his left hand and the whip in his right hand, and he was whipping the horse's buttocks vigorously.

The horse, driven by its master, flew on all fours, rolling up a trail of dust and sand, burning like a flame towards where they were.

The sound of hooves drew closer and closer, and the two of them were impressed by the skill of the rider on the horse, and saluted the passers-by.

This person is of medium height, thin in stature, and his whole body is tightly wrapped, leaving only one pair of eyes outside.

The two of them were trying to guess whether he was going to the left or the right. The flame had already rolled in front of them, and immediately the man suddenly said in a loud voice to them:

"I'm coming from someone you're looking for. ”
